Spring is time for getting in shape fast

This winter has given us a harsh reminder of how fragile our health can be. Even the slightest exposure to one of the nasty flu bugs going around can result in days laying in bed - with the remote as your faithful sidekick. Some of us are lucky enough to have a family member or loved one to help us through this unpleasant time. Many of us end up watching countless hours of TV between naps - too tired and ill to do anything more productive. This bug just plain leaves us feeling like crap.

It leaves us wishing Spring would hurry and get here. It leaves one longing for warmer days - filled with blue skies, sunshine and warmth. It's time to pick up the pace. Get out of that sick bed as soon as you can and start back on the road to better health. Time to work on getting in shape fast. Summer is just around the bend.

March will no doubt blow by us like a West Texas wind storm. Spring break will come and go before we know it. Then its back to the books for six or eight short weeks.

And then it comes - that wonderful time of the year we all grew up loving so. The carefree, laid back time of year when lemonade stands start popping up in neighborhoods everywhere. Church youth groups sponsor the Saturday morning carwash. And Sunday afternoons are best spent at your favorite swimming hole.

Do you want to have a healthier look before summer arrives? Are you ready to keep that promise you made to yourself at the start of this great new year? Do you want to start exercising, building muscles and losing weight fast? Are you ready to start getting in shape fast?
